Tech startups are turning to artificial intelligence to breathe new life into industries battered by recent turbulence. 💡 After years of overexpansion and pandemic-driven hiring sprees, giants like Microsoft, Meta, and Google made headlines for massive layoffs — but a new wave of innovators sees AI as the ultimate reset button.
\"The old playbook of 'move fast and break things' is evolving into 'build smart and adapt things,'\" says startup founder Linh Tran, whose team uses machine learning to optimize renewable energy grids. 🔋📈 Smaller companies are leveraging AI tools for everything from supply chain fixes to personalized healthcare, proving you don’t need Silicon Valley’s budget to drive change.
While big tech recalibrates, scrappy newcomers are filling gaps — think AI-powered career coaches for laid-off workers or algorithms predicting market shifts faster than traditional models. 🤖💼 As one investor quipped: \"It’s not about replacing humans anymore — it’s about upgrading how we solve problems.\"
